"Rplford's Magazine for November contains an editoiial on "the real danger to the Republic." Il begins with the incontrovertible bat apparently forgotten proposition that our political structure is based on the purity of the ballot. Unless we can sustain the integrity of the ballot we are doomed to a despotism that is not only cruel and oppressive, but is of a nature that defies correction or control. The very ground beneath our feet gives way." Yet it adds that the man who would resent as an insult the proposition even to comit a swindle or aid in a theft will swing his hat with cheers over a a successful criminality of his party. ' An election so-called at a great commercial centre is something openly hideous. Gangs are organized to sell under leadership to the hignest bidder for votes on either side. These are supplemented in effect by other gangs that manipulate tne oatioc uoxes or count the votes. While Senators Chandler, Edmunds, Hoar and Ingalis are loud in their demands that the negroes of the South, the Chinamen of that locality, shall have the power their number calls for, these same gentlemen know and laugh among themselves over the fact that the great State of Ohio puts to record every year its political decision upon the thirty thousand negro votes that are paid for as regularly as the day of election comes round." A disgusted Kepublican writes to the editor of Belford's Magaaine that he has abandon-ad his party in which he once filled important positions because of its trickery and dishonesty in dealing with the colorcd vote. '*A certain number of darkies are hired to stand at the pol!s, a certain number of carriages are hired to bring other darkies to the polls, and still another set of gentlemen of the same brand to " - - TT71- tL _ anve tnose carriages. vv u<cu mm walk to the palls themselves, bat if money is not expended in some wav upon the colored voters they woulu not vote the Republican ticket." Then came, he says, the Foraker campaign. He was beaten, and then renominated, and of course had to be elected. ***nen there was more bargaining with the colored vote, for without it the State would have beeu Democratic for the past fifteen years. A colored man was placed on every ticket in the State. Then they demanded admission to white schools and got it; then an abolition of anti-miscegenation laws and got it; and now they demand a full apportionment of the teachers in the public schools." Receut developments of the last election show that Republicans cau doubly discount any? Democmwv wroug-doTng. They flooded the country with campaign falsehoods. They circulated among the Jews in New York a document declaring mat iuu Mills bill wonld prevent any Jewish immigration to this conntry. Thong!) the Mills bill laid a duty of fifteen cents a bushel on potatoes they issued another document among potato farmers that the bill would admit potatoes free. They circulated hundreds of thousands ot dollars on doubtful localities and bought floating voters, like*so many sheep. | This spectacle of rich monopolists carrying elections by means of purchased voters or intimidated laborers is calculated to throw a serious doubt on the wisdom of universal suffrage. The people of the United States will stand almost anything, but they j demand that whatever be the opinion of a majority of the voters of the land it must be an opinion honestly gained at the ballot box. Organized fraud will lead to- revolution in the near or less distant future. Kohnnl rnmmiesinn<>r8. Onr esteemed contemporary, tbe Press and Banner, says: The idea that nobody but an educated person, capable of teaching a first grade school, should be allowed to be School Commissioner, is an impractical theory which has Leeu exploded long ago. The proof is on record that education alone has not been a panacea for all the ills of the school system. Without intending to be personal, and with not the slightest intention to be offensive to any one, t we would suggest that the proof is against the assumption that the most learned men are the most practical, or best qualified to fill the office of School Commissioner. The duties of School Commissioner are pre-emiucutly practical, and they demand the exercise <Tf a large degree of common sense, and in the management of the schools no display of learning is equal to a laitshare of ''horse sense." As a rule, the most impractical men on the face of the earth, are the school teachers. For this reason the go ?d ot the system would seem to demand that school teachers be made ineligible to the office of School Commissioner. Put a school teacher in office and he almost invariably proposes to shorten the school term, bv increasing" the sal ary of the teachers. Can any man point to an exception? lie can't do it in Abbeville. Fat a school teacher in office, doesn't he always shorten the school term? There has been no exception to this rale in Abbeville coanty. From the above seems that the it Press and Banner would argue, that our schools can be made more efficient, both as to the length of the sessions and effective edncatioual work by having at their head men, who know nothing about the theory of education, men who know nothing of the work of the school-room. With this theory we cannot agree, neither do we believe, that the facts of the case, nor the "horse sense" of those best informed will support our contemporary in its views. Our contemporary argues that we need practical methods in our schools, and that school teacners are not practherefore school teachers should be tnitde ineligible to the office of [ School Commissioner. This line of argument is ia.lla c;0u~ in this respect, iu that it '"t0es not clearly specify what is meant by "practical." A school teacher., f0r instance, may be, atul often is.y the most impractical man in the common every day affairs of man, out when he comes to his chosen profession,-if he is at all sncnrv-sfri! Iio mnw flip theory and practice ot education than a whole raft full of editors, lawyers, doctors, farmers and what not. At least in oar limited experience we have found that school teachers, however ignorant of the practical things of life, are generally experts in Uie practical needs of the school-room, while those outside or" the profession who generally think that they know exactly how a school ought to be ruu are more like fish out of water when they come to put their pet theories Into practice than anything we can think of. It seems to us that a man who had never seen a plow, or on editor who had never seen a furrow, would be about as capable of running a farm as as the man who had no experience with schools would be in directing our educational afl'iirs. In Abbeville it may so have happened as the Press and Banner puts it, but as a general rule, to be applied to i he whole State or country, we think our contemporary's theory will be found wantii.^. To make our public school system perfect we need as the directing hand men who arc well acquainted with the school-room: men who have had experience in it, and who consequently know its needs, and less of that class of men who, while they may be highly educated, know nothing- about education and its practices. When we have more of the former and less of the 'f.tter we will hear less and less of the inefficiency of our pub Sic schools. Private Bills. Speaking of this matter, the Columbia Record makes some most timely criticisms and suggestions. It says: The number of private bills, or bills affecting only one locality, seems not to diminish. Already quite a number of these are in the hands of the committees, and must soon occupy much of the time of the law-makers. This matter of private bills and local bills is perhaps the most troublesome that the Legislature has to manage in the short time which the body allows it, self. There is indeed a law which seeks io diminish the work of the Legislature by allowing the Secretary of State in some cases, and the Clerk of the Court ot Common PJeas in others, to grant charters of incorporation. But it is very easy to frame a charter, to be submitted to a committee, which shall contain features to take it out of the class which maybe precured otherwise than by enactment of the Legislature. Besides, the laws that consume mo4 time in their passage are tho^e which come tinder what is called "local legislation"?the making of laws for one county or one township, or even one locality within such township. There is far too much of this sort of legislation, and or?e provoking feature of it lies in what our law-mrt'Pzcr arc plcuseil tO CU.ll "comity"? the "comity" which gives a delegation the right to shape legislation lor its own county. One result of this way of doing is seen in diverse laws, in diftereut counties, upon matters in which uniformity would seem to be especially desirable?such, for example, as the road law. the sale of seed cotton, the fence law, the jury law and even the manner of paying county officials. These measures are generally taken up in the intervals of real work?at afternoon sessions when many members are busy in the committee or are taking some leisure. On such occasions the wish of the author of a bill becomes the determination of the law-making body. For this evil ?the greatest incident to our legislation?the remedy lies in the hands of the members themselves. Let them look more fully into the?e local measures. Let most of these be killed, as as thev should be, and after awhile we shall see more attention paid to measures really affecting the interests of the people. .The Primary Law. Tiiprr* i? t? hill hofnr<? thp T.^criKlnflirfi w AN/ ** ~ w to throw around the primaries of the Democratic party some legal safe guards to prevent fraud. As the Columbia Record remarks this is peculiarly suggestive of frauds in the Democratic par^y. The Record is right, but if the primary elections of the party are rotten we cannot see how by the enactment of any law it can be prevented. As we look at it the Democratic party or any other party, for that matter, is an aggregation of the citizens j of the State who believe in a certain j line ot policy for the government to > pursue. It is not a corpor xted body subject to law so far a* we can see, except tnat each individual member is amen- | able to the laws of the land. As Mr. Biaine said of the trusts, i "It is purely a private affiir, with I which the government has nothing to ! do." 1 What he said about trusts is our idea j about the Democratic party. We don't believe the government has any more right to punish fraud in party j \ primaries thau it has a right to punish j fraud in a town debating society cr any i other private organization. Believing thus wo think no such law J ] should be passed in the first place, and j' we can't see how it can be enforced in j' the second. j1 ! < Give Them a Chance. That is to say, your lungs. Also j j all your breathing machinery. Very :, wonderful machinery it is. Not only I, the larger air passages, but the thou- i ( sands of little tubes aud cavities lead- j j ing from them. When these are clogged and choked ! ( with matter which ought not to be j t there, your lungs cannot haif do their ' J work. And what they do, they can- i t not do well. ] a II it cold, couuh, croup, pneu- < monia, catarrh, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought lo be got rid of. There i I is just one sure way to get rid of thera. ! ? That is to take Boschee's German j ( Syrup, which any druggist will sell '} you at 75 cents a buttle. Even if. J everything ejse has failed you, you | \ may'depend upon this for certain. * j I r benjamin* Harrison* will have 110 | easy time of if. If lie puts Blaine i into his Cabinet he will alienate a very large portion of his party. If lie does not lie wiil alienate still more. If he adheres to civil service reform he will alienate the spoil-hunters and boys who ran with the machine. If he makes a clean sweep he will exasperate a very influential party that carries its votes in its vest pocket. Ir he doesn't twist the tail of the British Lion the Republican Irish-Americans wiil go back to their Democratic camp. If he does he will exasperate those who deal largely with England and Canada. The rush of offioe-seeksrs killed his grandfather in a mouth alter he got to Washington, and the new swarm of hungry political flies will settle on him like an Egyptian plague. Again, since people are seeking anabgies of the campaign of 18-10, let it be remembered that the Tippecanoe cam; paign did not have a corporal's guard of Democrrts, bur that four years later Polk carried all the doubtful States, and the Whigs mads-but one ] other successful rally before death. Govfrxok Richardson was inaugurated on Thursday. Ills address dealt considerably with the relations of South Carolina to tho incoming administration. Ho assumed that efforts will be made either by coercion or conciliatory measure to break I he Solid South, but the position of the State should be one of unceasing vigilance, anticipating neitherevil purpo>e nor unfriendly action, but with closed ranks be always ready to resist by every constitutional means any encroachment upon the State's right to manage its domestic afftirs. lie said that with the greatest loyalty to the Union South Carolina will maintain tlift onlv o-overnment thai can ever give her peace and prosperity; one that shall be ruled, directed and controlled by the allconquciing AngloSaxon race. It is reported that "the heaviest manufacturer of agricultural implements in Ohio called his workmen previous to the late election and said, My men, I have no wish to influence your votes, but if Grover Cleveland is elected President no more smoke will issue from these chimneys.'" As the tariff lays a duty ot -io per cent. 011 plows, rakes, cultivators and shovels, it would be interesting to know what manufacturer was so desperately determined not to have them any cheaper. lie is a good man to boycott. Let the farmers do their part in stopping the smoke in his chimneys. The New York Post is waging a heavy warfare against political corruution in all forms. It thinks that a Concrressionai committee outrht to c? w muke a rigorous overhauling of Indiana to the end that i: might be known how fur the system of buying "fl>aters in blocks of ten" contributed to Republican success atul to inquire into the source of the immense campaign funds raised by the National committees with especial reference to the contributions made to the Republican treasury by Trusts. The people of those States where there is a large "floating" vote are aroused on the subject of tallot reform. In Indiana and Connecticut the subject is generally discussed and the draft of bills to be presented to several Legislatures at their meetings have been prepared. In all quartprs tho ^njjviofin?i i<5 sfrnntr fh.lf. fliprn must he some kind of reform in this particular. Two towns in South Carolina have recently held elections on the prohibition question. Anderson, after two or three years' trial of prohibition, returned to the license system by a majority of 170, the reason assigned for the change being that the law is ineffectual in stopping the sale. Hampton also went "wet/' by a vote of 2U to IS a day or two since. President Cleveland, in his farewell message to Congrcs?, among * other things, reiterates the opinion previously expressed by him of the necessity and importance of tariff redaction. His last message is enarasteristic of the man, and is in keeping with his other public documents which were full ot force and wisdom. Tiie Columbia Register, in speaking of the reduction of the Judges' salaries, suggests that Legislators give a little attention to their own salaries and help along the economical work by reducing them a little. We venture to remark th.it the economists 1 "ain't built thai ?vav." Tiie old guard died but never sur- , re idercd. The Democratic pany 1 neither { urreuders nor dies. It comes j up smiling every time, and when it < ioesn't win it makes the other fellows work for all they get. The State Senate for the first lime in years is entirely Democratic a- to < politics and is composed of white men (, ilone. < The bill to reduce the salaries of the < circuit judges has passed the House, flic bill makes the salary ?3.000.

Liuuiau uiacftoco source in Impure Blood, a medicine which restores that fluid from a depraved to a healthy condition comes as near being a universal cure as any that can he produced. Ayer's Sarsaparilla affects the blood in each stage of its formation, and is, therefore, adapted to a greater variety of complaints than any other known medicine. Boils and Carbuncles, which defy ordinary treatment, yield to Ayer's Sarsaparilla after a comparatively brief trial. Mr. C. K. Murray, of Charlottesville, Ya., writes that for years he was afflicted with boils which caused him much suffering. These were succeeded by carbuncles, of which he had several at one time. He then began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and after taking 'three bottles, the carbuncles disappeared, and for six years he has not had even a pimple. That insidious disease, Scrofula, is the fruiu'ul cause of innumerable com plaints, Consumption being only one of many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers, sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak and wasted muscles, a capricious appetite, and the like, are pretty sure indications of a scrofulous taint in tlio system. Many otherwise beautiful faces are disfigured by pimples, eruptions, and unsightly blotches, which arise from impure blood, showing the need of Ayer's Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil. All su^.rers from blood disorders should give Ayer's Sarsaparilla a fair trial, ? avoiding all powders, ointments, and washes, and especially cheap and worthless compounds, which not only fail to effect a cure, but more frequently aggravate and confirm the diseases they are fraudulently advertised to remedy.
